Care and Maintenance

Your phone is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated 
with care. The suggestions below will help you fulfill any warranty obligations and 
allow you to enjoy this product for many years.

• 

Keep the phone and all its parts and accessories out of the reach of small children.

• 

Keep the phone dry. Precipitation, humidity and liquids contain minerals that will 

corrode electronic circuits.

• 

Do not use the phone with a wet hand. Doing so may cause an electric shock to 

you or damage to the phone.

• 

Do not use or store the phone in dusty, dirty areas, as its moving parts may be 

damaged.

• 

Do not store the phone in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of 

electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics.

• 

Do not store the phone in cold areas. When the phone warms up to its normal 

operating temperature, moisture can form inside the phone, which may damage 
the phone's electronic circuit boards.

• 

Do not drop, knock or shake the phone. Rough handling can break internal circuit 

boards.

• 

Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents or strong detergents to clean the 

phone. Wipe it with a soft cloth slightly dampened in a mild soap-and-water 
solution.

• 

Do not paint the phone. Paint can clog the device's moving parts and prevent 

proper operation.

• 

Do not put the phone in or on heating devices, such as a microwave oven, a stove 

or a radiator. The phone may explode when overheated.

• 

If your phone is equipped with an external antenna, use only the supplied or an 

approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas or modified accessories 
may damage the phone and violate regulations governing radio devices.

• 

If the phone, battery, charger or any accessory is not working properly, take it to 

your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there will assist you, and if 
necessary, arrange for service.
